The Boondock Saints’ Troy Duffy returns to directing with The Blood Spoon Council
The Boondock Saints director Troy Duffy is set to direct the thriller The Blood Spoon Council, which he wrote with Criss Lassiter. This will mark Duffy’s return to directing for the first time since 2009’s The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. Scott Clayton will produce with Oceanside Media. The Blood Spoon Council follows a vigilante group, known as the Blood Spoon Council, who are hunting down and executing serial killers in the U.S. The FBI commissions a young, rogue profiler to get into the head of the group’s elusive leader. But their investigation is derailed when the whiz kid engages in a secret game of cat-and-mouse with a mastermind the likes of which he’s never seen.
“Troy has built an incredibly strong and loyal fan base followingThe Boondock Saints. Fans of his cult classic, both old and new, are in for a special treat with his latest film project, The Blood Spoon Council,” stated Clayton. “He brings back the same raw, unforgiving action tangled with the kinetic storytelling that audiences know and love to his new film. With his extraordinary cinematic vision, Troy is poised to make an impactful resurgence in the industry.”
“I want to create an action packed psychological thriller with Blood Spoon and I have held nothing back,” said Duffy. “All the killers and their crimes are inspired by actual serial cases. The mastermind of the Council is a one-of-a-kind character that will take a one-of-a-kind talent to portray him. The Blood Spoon Council may be dark but it is darkly beautiful, darkly exciting and it satisfies that devilish curiosity many of us have about serial killers and the uniquely gifted individuals who pursue them.”
The Boondock Saints starred Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus and developed a cult following. Troy Duffy’s issues with what came after are featured in the documentary film Overnight.
